Ingredients

Pepper Bundles

  • 12 fresh chives (at least 6 inches long) or green part of green onion, cut into thin strips
  • 2 medium red bell peppers
  • 2 medium green bell peppers
  • 1/3 cup water

Lemon-Pepper Butter

  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine
  • 2 teaspoons finely shredded lemon peel
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    Place chives in shallow dish. Pour enough boiling water over chives just to cover; let stand 10 seconds so chives become pliable. Drain well; set aside.
  • Step 
    2
    Cut each pepper into eighteen 3x1/4-inch strips (there may be extra strips; reserve for another use). To form each bundle, place 3 pepper strips side by side on center of chive. Top with 3 more pepper strips (alternate colors if desired). Tie chive around bundle. Repeat with remaining pepper strips and chives.
  • Step 
    3
    Heat all Lemon-Pepper Butter ingredients until butter is melted, stirring occasionally; set aside.
  • Step

    Carefully transfer bundles to 10-inch nonstick skillet; add water. Heat to boiling; boil about 1 minute or until crisp-tender. Remove bundles to small serving plate, using slotted spoon or pancake turner; drizzle with Lemon-Pepper Butter. Serve immediately.
